The initial surfboard used was about 5 meters long and weighed 50-60 kilograms. After the Second World War, foamed plastic boards appeared, and their shapes were also improved. The surfboard currently used is 1.5-2.7 meters long, about 60 centimeters wide, and 7-10 centimeters thick. The board is light and flat, with slightly narrow front and rear ends, and a stabilizing tail fin at the lower back. In order to increase friction, a waxy outer film is also coated on the surface of the board. The weight of all surfboards is only 11-26 kilograms.
